Danger:

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because:
- the static strength of the saddle is not sufficient;
- the chainguard does not completely cover the edge of the chain and therefore clothing may get caught;
- the stabilisers are too close to the vertical plane of the frame, so the bicycle can easily tip over on uneven surfaces.
The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 14765.

Action Taken:

Withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers ordered by the authorities.
